A FAT AI OMICCinN A press dispatch is to the effect that the Republican party leaders held a powwow before the cabinet was selected, but that there was much division among them as to several of the positions. They ought to have called in - Harding. Perhaps he would have selected at least one Southern man for the cabinet. HOW HE WON THEM When Senator Ashurst, of Arizona, started to make a speech in the Senate he sent pages arotfnd among the Senators with Arizona grown figs and dates that they devoured with relish, relish. | Then, when everybody was chewing comfortably, he asked a $01,000 item for fig and date plant investigation instead of $51,000 provided by; the house. The senators voted the additional $10,000 without missing a bite. The Senator probably thought that ' votes as well as hearts may be won through the stomach. DISMAY~IN THE WHITE HOUSE The criticism of President Wilsoiv because of his having a Catholic secretary will probably now b<> transferred to Mrs. Harding, wife of President-elect Harding. The "Rail Splitter," an anti-Catholic paper, has this statement: Word has come to this ofliee to the effect that Mrs. Harding has chosen a Roman Catholic woman as her private secretary, which gives the pope ainother spy in the White House for the coming four years. We are writing Mr. Harding relative to this matter. Imagine, if you can, the consternation in the White House when the Rail Splitter's letter arrives. Will there be hurrying to and fro and cries of dismay or will Mr. Harding put the letter in the waste basket as Woodrow treated the letters demanding that he dismiss his secretary? TO WORK FOR WORLD PEACE Ex-President Wilson in a recent interview denied that he intended writing a history of the Paris Peace conference. He said that the actions and deliberations of that body should be written by historians other than himself, because of his close connection with the Paris conference. When that history is written by an unprejudiced historian a large portion of credit will be given to Woodrow Wilson for his arduous patriotic work in connection with that great event. In this interview the ex-president said he would devote himself upon rotiremnt to private life to a continuation of his efforts toward world \?eace. The delegation that called upon Mr. Wilson said they were deeply touched by the president's faith in the ultimate accomplishment of his efforts towards peace and hy the almost brilliant good humor with which he is leaving the White House. FOREIGN FLOOD OF IMMIGRANTS In discussing the subject if immigration in Congress there is considerable difference of opinion as to who should be admitted into this country and who should not. While on one hand there is a disposition to limit the number of aliens coming to the United States some Congressmen seem entirely too liberal in their views. Senator John K Hofli.n of Alabama, is not of that number. In a recent speech he related sonie enlightening incidents that throw a rather baleful light upon the situation. Among other examples, showing1 the kind of people that are permitted to come to our shores from Europe he said: "A few years ago Hon. John L. Burnett, of Alabama, then chairman of the Immigration Committee in the House, went to Italy, and while there he inquired as to what had become of the band of outlaws that had murdered so many people and spread terror over a considerable portion of Italy, and they told him that they had all gone to America.

"We sent an army of more than 2,000,000 men across the sea to defeat a foreigii foe and prevent a foreign army from invading America, and yet we permit th^ enemy through loopholes in immigration laws to come right into the American household. If our boys fought to keep the enemy out, surely we can vote for a law that will keep out the dangerous and deadly enemies of the country." Even in Thomas Jefferson's time the danger of too many foreign immigrants was under discussion and Jefferson made that famous remark, "It is time we were becoming more Americanized."

Entered the army. 1782?In the legislature. 1783-86?In the Continental s congress. 1787?In the legislature. 1788?In the state constitutional convention. 1790-4?In the senate. 1794-6?Minister to France. 1799-1802?Governor of Virginia. 1803-8?In the diplomatic service. 1809-10?In the legislature. 1811?Governor. 1811.17?Secretary of state. > . i^TO OTHER president, with the exLN eeptlon of John Qulney Adams, served the country as long as James Monroe and, without exception, none has had an olliclal experience so varied. From 1776, \yhen he was a vigorous, dx-foot, broad shouldered, raw-honed noy of eighteen, and left William and Mary's college to enter the Revolution, Monroe remained In the public sendee initil 1825, when he retired from the White House a wrinkled. L'ure bent, Impoverished old man. In those 11> years, he had been a minor ullltary oflicer under Washington; repeatedly a member of the legislature, l member of the Continental congress wid of the national senate; twice gov>rnor of Virginia; minister to Kronce, Kn gland and Spain ; secretary of state ind war at the same time and finally president for two terms. Without wealth or family Influence, with a slow, commonplace mind, with no gifts as a speaker; with a modest awkward presence and plain, unpolished manners, this very ordinary man plodded up the ladder of ambition to its topmost rung. How? By sheer force of his rugged, courageous, in James Monroe. rlustrious, lionet, loyal character?a triumph ol' tlie homely virtues. Although he failed hi some of his most important tasks, Monroe's failures were forgiven because they were honest mistakes. The ridicule and the disgrace brought upon him by the most spectacular episode of his undrumatlc life would have hurled forever a man more brilliant and less sincere. This remarkable scene was enacted on the highly theatrical stage of the national convention at Paris directly after the Itelgn of Terror and the fall of Robespierre, when France was the outcast among nations. At that moment, Monroe appeared as the envoy of the only sister republic and, to let all the world see thut the Revolution had at least one friend left on earth, Ihe president of the convention melodramatically folded the rustic Virginian in his arms. After two years, he was recalled for his zeal, and came home In a rage of Indlgnntlon. Passing by the gnte of Mount Vernon without paying his respects to Washington, he paid them instead In .r?00 pages which he published in defense of himself and In denunciation of the administration. Nevertheless, the discredited diplomat was sent to Paris again by President Jefferson In a few years, when he enme nway covered with success, and with tIto treaty for the purchase of Louisiana tinder his arm by n fitting prelude to the Monroe doctrine, 20 years later. There Is n most Interesting souvenir of Monroe In Paris. Like Madlsrn. he had fallen In love while a member of congress and hnrl married Elizabeth Kortright of New York. Two children having been born to them, one of the girls was placed In the famous French school of Mine, Campan, where she formed a friendship with 1 fortenso Beauhamals that outlasted the ninny vicissitudes of Josephine's [laughter. Recently the notnhle figures In the court of the first consul of Malmalnon were modeled and grouped about Napoleon for a celebrated wax works diuw in Paris. In that billllant galaxy ?f monnrchs and dukes yet to be, Eliza Monroe, in girlish prettlness, Is jeen again by the side of the future ineen of Holland and the destined punier or napoleon in. catarrhal Deafness Cannot Re Cured y local application*, as they cannot reach lie ills-used portion of the car.
